09-14-82 SEPTEMBER 14, 1982
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Vice-Mayor Malcolm T. Bird in the
Council Chambers at City Hall at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday, September 14, 1982.
1. Roll call showed:
Present - Council Member Leo A. Blair
Council Member Arthur Jackel
Council Member Edward L. Perry
Vice-Mayor Malcolm T. Bird
Absent - Mayor Willard V. Young was absent due to illness.
Also present were - City Manager Gordon Do Tiffany, and
City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
2. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Maurice Gaines,
St. John's Primitive Baptist Church.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mr. Blair moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of August 24, 1982, seconded by Mr. Perry. Said motion passed
unanimously.
5.a.1. Mr. Sam Portnay, High Point Section 6, congratulated Vice-
Mayor Bird for being nominated in the recent election and wished him
luck in November.
5.a.2. Mr. Dave Randolph, 105 N.W. llth Avenue, spoke on behalf of
the Community Action Council (CAC). He advised that CAC will not re-
ceive all the funds needed for its 1982-83 budget from the County and
other fund sources. Presently, CAC is in need of an Assistant and a
busdr~ver to transport children. They need $45,000 from the City and
they ask that Council give them consideration when they start looking at
Federal Revenue Sharing funds.
Upon question by Mrs. Rita Schaken, Mr. Randolph explained
that the CAC, which has been operating in Palm Beach County since 1965,
is an agency designed to help the poor and the needy.
5.a.3o Ms. Rosetta Rolle advised that the Community Action Council
programs cost $193,686 and they feel that $45,000 is a small amount to
as~ for from the City. In the past Delray Beach has helped to set up
programs such as the South Technical Center and the Catherine Strong
Center. They feel that this has set a precedent and the City cannot
turn them down for the $45,000 which is badly needed.
5.b.1. Vice-Mayor Bird noted that there is some citizen concern as
to the prospective changes to the rates as suggested to Council by the
agency which studied the Recreation Department. He has requested, and
Council has concurred, that it be treated separately at a later time.
He advised that no change to the current rates will occur as a result of
tonight's meeting or the meeting in two weeks from tonight.
Vice-Mayor Bird turned the chair over to Mr. Perry at this
time.
5.b.2. Mr. Bird asked Council to consider adoption of Resolution
No. 99-82, which provides for the selection of a Vice Mayor Pro Tempore.
He explained that there is a possibility that before Mayor Young's
return to Council, he (Mr. Bird) might have to step down. In order to
provide an orderly transition, he recommends that this office be created
to last from now until the next City Organizational meeting which will
be held on the first Monday in April, 1983. It provides that there will
always be a presiding officer anytime a quorum is present, which is not
the case under the current City Charter. Council may want to discuss it
as a potential Charter change for the future. The City Attorney has ad-
vised h~m that this will tare care of the interim period.
Mr. Bird presented Resolution No. 99-82:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR THE SELECTION OF A VICE
MAYOR PRO TEMPORE TO SERVE IN THE ABSENCE OF BOTH THE
MAYOR AND THE VICE MAYOR AND TO FILL ANY VACANCY CREATED
IN THE OFFICE OF THE VICE MAYOR; PROVIDING FOR EXPIRATION
OF THIS RESOLUTION.

5.d.1. The City Manager requested that Item 23 be entirely removed
from tonight's agenda.
6. Mr. Perry moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr.
Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
BUDGET CONSIDERATION
7. Tentatively levy a tax rate. Resolution No. 90-82 which
tentatively levies a tax rate on all properties within the City is
before Council for consideration. Prior to consideration of passage of
this resolution, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this
t~me regarding establishing the City's tentative millage for the 1982-83
fiscal year.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 90-82:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, TO TENTATIVELY LEVY A TAX ON ALL PRO-
PERTIES WITHIN THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION, AND TO TENTATIVELY LEVY A TAX
FOR THE PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON BONDED
INDEBTEDNESS, AND TO ALLOCATE AND APPROPRIATE SAID COL-
LECTIONS THEREUNDER.
(Copy of Resolution No. 90-82 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the resolution.
A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in
compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida.
The City Manager reported that the public hearing now open
is limited only to the subject of the tentative millage rate. He ex-
plained that the category they will be discussing initially tonight is
the General Fund, which is the fund that pays for governmental kinds of
services, including City Council, City Manager, Personnel, City Clerk,
Finance, City Attorney, Police, Fire, Public Works, Development and
Inspection, Parks and Recreation, funds, grants and some debt service.
The ad valorem tax, paid by taxpayers of the City, goes into the General
Fund exclusively. The tax rate only affects the expenditures which are
in the General Fund.
- 2 - 09/14/82
The City Manager further reported that the State Legislature
has established strict regulations on the budgetary process of local
governments. One of these, the TRIM Bill, sets forth this public hear-
lng on the millage rate; half of the tax equation. The other half of
the tax equation is in the appraisal process, which process is com-
pletely separate from City government; they have absolutely no influence
or authority over it whatsoever. The budget which is before Council
would adopt a tax rate of 5.2922. This tax rate is down about 24% from
last year for two reasons; first, 19% of the decrease is due to reas-
sessments of existing City property. He noted that, by State law, the
City cannot take advantage of increased assessments; anytime that the
gross taxable value of the City properties go up, their tax rate is
rolled back to compensate. The second reason the tax rate is lower than
last year is because of the five cent sales tax. The City shares half
of the fifth penny with other local governments in Palm Beach County and
17% of the total rollback is due to the fact that everyone who pays
sales tax in this County is contributing a small amount to local govern-
ments. He added that the 5.2922 millage rate is 1.7% below the legal
rollback rate. This rate applied against the gross taxable value of the
City of Delray Beach is expected to generate $6,690,029 for the coming
fiscal year. He noted that the Police and Fire Departments will use all
but $116,000 of that; Public Safety is, by and large, the function which
is supported by property taxes.
Vice-Mayor Bird advised that last year their tax rate was 5%
over the rollback rate. At that time, he and Mr. Blair told the citi-
zens that the City would be at or below rollback by budget time this
year. He is very pleased that they were able to do it. He publicly
thanked his colleagues who, in April of 1982, joined with them in that
effort.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Perry moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 90-82,
seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Blair - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Perry - Yes; Vice-Mayor Bird - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
8. Tentatively making appropriations for the 1982-83 budget.
Resolution No. 91-82, which makes tentative appropriations of sums of
money for all necessary expenditures of the City for the period from
October 1, 1982 to September 30, 1983, is before Council for considera-
tion. Prior to consideration of passage of this resolution, a public
nearing has been scheduled to be held at this time regarding the 1982-83
tentative budget and the Federal Revenue Sharing.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 91-82:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, MAKING TENTATIVE APPROPRIATIONS OF SUMS
OF MONEY FOR ALL NECESSARY EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR THE PERIOD FROM THE lST DAY OF
OCTOBER, 1982, TO THE 30TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1983; TO
PRESCRIBE THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS WITH
RESPECT TO THE ITEMS OF APPROPRIATIONS AND THEIR PAYMENT;
AND TO REPEAL ALL RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES WHOLLY IN
CONFLICT WITH THIS RESOLUTION AND ALL RESOLUTIONS AND
ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT WITH THIS RESOLUTION TO THE

Resolution Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the resolution.
A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in
compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida.
- 3 - 09/14/82
The City Manager stated that, now more than ever, the budg-
etary process of this City must be an ongoing process. They expect to
come back with budgetary amendments to recognize changing economic
conditions and also to recognize a number of studies and ongoing policy
considerations. He added that budget administration is a team effort
between the Administration, City Council and the public. The City
Manager described the budgetary process which brought them to this
point. In July he presented a budget to Council which included a line
item analysis of what they expect to receive and spend in the next
fiscal year. After the initial presentation and discussions, they went
through a process of deleting a number of proposed expenditures; these
were discussed at the budget workshop in late August. That came to a
net change so that they were actually reducing their line item expendi-
tures by $126,158 to increase their working capital fund. Tonight
Council has been handed a sheet which would propose to do some addi-
tional changing in the budget before its final adoption. The biggest
change is to recognize the fact that the City has reached tentative
agreement with the International Association of Firefighters. The funds
to pay for that agreement are provided for in this budgetary revision
and are included in the budget ordinance which is before Council. They
have also made some minor adjustments.
Upon the suggestion of the City Manager, Vice-Mayor Bird
advised that this would be an appropriate time for input on Federal
Revenue Sharing.
Mr. Sam Schwimer, 1061 Orange Terrace, asked if any part of
the Federal Revenue Sharing funds are to be used in connection with
beach restoration. He also spoke in opposition of a water and sewer
rate increase and in opposition of an increase in meter fees from 25¢ to
50¢, noting that the budget figures he saw do not support such an in-
crease. Regarding parking permits, he suggested that Council either do
away with them or allow permit holders to park in any metered space.
Mr. Robert Stump, Coalition for Good Government, stated that
they feel the Administration must take action to get its personnel,
equipment and supply item costs under control. He presented the follow-
lng suggestions:
1. a review and rewriting of all City job descriptions;
2. a review of the performance of every department manager to determine
what he is doing to make his operation more cost effective; this
could include: programs to improve employee morale and productivity,
the elimination of unnecessary jobs, the establishment of inventory
control procedures, and the establishment of the short and long
range planning needs of each department;
3. a complete review of City equipment, vehicle needs and maintenance;
4. freeze the number of City employees and place funds budgeted for
additional employees in a separate interest bearing bank account;
5. place funds budgeted for contingencies and/ or capital reserves in a
separate interest bearing bank account.
6. curtail the use of outside consulting firms.
Mr. Stump concluded by commending City Council on the pro-
posals to turn over the collection of trash and garbage and the cleanup
of the beach to private contractors; and the ongoing study to review the
policy regarding the assignment of City vehicles to City employees.
Mr. Harry Lippert, Florence Fuller Child Development Center,
advised that they have four child care and three family day care centers
· n Delray Beach serving 168 children, and he gave an outline of their
funding sources and budget. He stated that they have a serious shortage
in funding and are requesting $10,859 from the City, which amount they
need in order to keep this program going in Delray Beach. He hopes they
will be given serious consideration.
Mr. Lippert further advised that a Cuban/Haitian Grant has
been set up by the Federal Government for Palm Beach County. Their
Center was asked to submit a proposal for child care in Delray Beach.
They did a study on the situation, submitted a proposal on September 3rd
and were told they would be notified in a day or two regarding the take
over and administration of the program. This program will be at no cost
to the City of Delray Beach.
- 4- 09/14/82
Mr. Alfred Straghn, 26 S.W. 5th Avenue, urged the Admini-
stration to look very closely at the child care program and find the
money needed. He stressed that the mothers of those children have to go
to work and need these day care centers.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, stated that there
has been no improvement since last year as to the problem of ineffi-
ciency among City employees on the street. She advised that she re-
quested Item 23, regarding $50,000 for the City Marina, be removed from
the agenda and she feels Council should undertake a study of its priori-
ties. She added that the Internal Audit Committee report said that
Delray Beach's per capita expenses are the highest in the State.
Mr. Terry Sullivan, 1700 Dover Road, pointed out that there
has been no mention as to why Delray Beach has about 150 more employees
than Boynton Beach. He hopes that will be addressed by Council before
they pass this budget.
Mary Banting, stated that originally in Tropic Isle their
taxes were about $700, last year they nearly doubled and now they have
received notice that their taxes will be more than doubled, if the
budget is approved. She added that in the 40 years she's lived here,
Delray Beach has always kept the taxes down, but that has changed over
the last five years or so.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Perry moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 91-82,
seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Blair - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Perry - Yes; Vice-Mayor Bird - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Jackel advised that he will vote for the budget because
he wants a budget in place by October lst; but starting October 1st he
will make recommendations to Council to take whatever action is neces-
sary to revise this budget downward. Mr. Blair added that although they
are approving the budget tonight, they are not going to live by the
figures in it. They intend to make many changes throughout the year.
The City Manager noted that when they opened the public
hearing on the tentative budget, they opened the floor for comments on
Federal Revenue Sharing. He advised that the Federal Revenue Sharing
hearing is, by Federal law, a separate matter; however, there is nothing
wrong with taking the testimony together as the two are closely related.
The public hearing was reopened.
The City Manager reported that, as indicated on Page 2 of
the resolution before them, the Federal Revenue Sharing entitlement they
expect to receive in cash in the coming year is $378,000; they currently
have an unappropriated surplus of $106,000 for a total of $484,000
available. Of this amount $481,880 is allocated for Public Safety and
the balance, $2,120, for General Government. The reason that the rec-
ommendation is made to use Federal Revenue Sharing in this manner is
that the other alternatives available, primarily the use of the funds
for capital outlay, due to federal requirements having to do with pre-
vailing wages, accounting procedures and other contractual regulations,
simply increase the cost of capital outlay when they are using federal
funds as compared to local funds. Therefore, in order to get the maxi-
mum value for these dollars, they are recommending continuation of the
former policy of using them for salaries which is the most cost effec-
tive way to expend these monies.
The public hearing was closed.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

unanimously.
Before roll call, the City Manager advised that a number of
property owners adjoining this street, which is primarily through a

this firm as their labor consultants, it was stated that for any speci-
fIc litigation matters in which the City would use their services, they
would come back to Council for specific authorization for that purpose.
That is the reason it is on the agenda tonight. He added that their
maximum hourly rate is $110.00.

CONTROL PROJECT FUNDS TO THE CITY FOR AN ADDITIONAL TEN

(Copy of Resolution No. 96-82 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
The City Attorney reported that the County's newest proposal
incorporates the provisions the City wished to place in the agreement
concerning resident parking; however, they have asked to have another
provision added which would extend other covenants of the original
agreement regarding access to the beach. The covenant agreed to previ-
ously would expire September 30, 1982; the new agreement is a ten-year
agreement which would expire September 30, 1992. The County wishes to
have that particular covenant extend 89 years beyond the date the City
is to receive funding under the agreement. All of the funding is not
guaranteed; it is subject to budget every fiscal year. The City Attor-
ney stated that it is his recommendation that if the covenant regarding
equal access to the beach to all members of the public is acceptable,
then it should go no longer than the date they are to stop getting the
funds.
V~ce-Mayor Bird suggested that they insert some wording in
the agreement specifying not only the funding requirement but the level
of funding. Upon question by Mrs. Alice Finst, the Vice-Mayor advised
that the County has proposed to give the City $200,000 maximum a year
during the ten year life of the agreement; however there is no require-
ment that they give anything. In return, the County would like a 99
year lease.
Mr. Perry moved to approve Resolution No. 96-82 to approve
of the form of the proposed Supplemental Agreement with the understand-
lng that Paragraph 5 will be modified to reflect that the covenant will
terminate on the termination date of the agreement and further that the
City will only agree to be bound by that covenant in those fiscal years
in which the County provided substantially the amount of funding up to
the $200,000 amount, seconded by Mr. Jackel.
Council discussion was had as to the definition of "substan-
tial''.
Mr. Perry amended the motion to provide that the maximum
annual rate of $200,000 is appropriated by the County, seconded by Mr.
Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr.
Jackel - Yes; Mr. Perry - Yes; Vice-Mayor Bird - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

Mr. Blair moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 71-82 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Jackel.
Upon question by Vice-Mayor Bird, the City Attorney advised
that pawn shops are only allowed in County pockets. Mr. Perry asked why
they are considering permitting pawn shops in the City at this time.
Mr. Doak Campbell, Planning and Zoning Board, stated that
this is not going in as a permitted use but as a conditional use. He
explalned that one person wanted to put in a pawn shop. It was pointed
out to them that several locations exist within the City where this type
of activity is going on at this time; one that was mentioned operates
under the guise of an antique shop on Federal Highway.
Vice-Mayor Bird asked if they should stipulate what the
requirements are for security before they approve this. Upon question
by Mr. Perry, the City Attorney advised that at this time pawn shops
operating in the City are non-conforming uses.
The City Manager advised that pawn shops, licensed and
operated properly, are under State jurisdiction and are likely to have a
good liaison with the Police Department. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that he
would like to have more input from the Police Department before they
adopt this ordinance.
The motion and second were withdrawn.
Mr. Blair moved to table this ordinance, return it to the

Mr. Jackel moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 72-82 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Blair.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews stated she has discussed this with
the Planning and Zoning Board Chairman and a member of the Board. What
they are asking Council to do is take a time-sharing unit and make it
non-conforming; they are asking to greatly increase the non-conformance
of a single family lot adjacent to other single family property. She
would ask that this item be referred to workshop and she would be happy
